Bali Hai Beach Resort - Holmes Beach, Florida

Customer service was basic,but clean service was great! The room was nice we weren’t able to get beach view but weren’t told that due to hurricane damage on the bottom of building we can’t use those rooms and this was supposed to be an upgrade but did feel like it.I understand hurricane they can’t do much about that,but be up front about it n honest! Bedrooms chairs uncomfortable n pillows stunk not supportive,bed needed more firmness. Pets are allowed but not a lot of space to walk on grass. Outside that it was very nice property we didn’t use the pool or lounge,bikes and golf carts. etc we got a text day before we left to see if there was anything we need it should been the first day!

I’ve never written a review before, but after reading recent reviews I felt I had to. This was our second visit to this resort. We’ve always found the property to be clean and well maintained. Both times we’ve stayed beachfront in non-updated rooms. This is specified in the room description so I’m confused when people complain about it. For me personally, I couldn’t care less what type of countertops or flooring a room has, as long as the room itself clean. It’s basically a small, one bedroom apartment. This works perfect for us, as my husband is an early riser and enjoys sitting on the balcony of a morning. You could easily cook in the stocked kitchen that comes with a full size refrigerator, but we don’t. I don’t know about the other rooms, but both rooms we’ve had have room safes, so I’m sorry to hear other people have had issues. |Our main priority on vacation is no stress or hassle! We go there because the views are wonderful. We love walking out of our room and within a few steps we’re on the beach with a chair and umbrella waiting for us. The only thing we have to do is get towels from the poolside ( which, by the way, are the softest, nicest resort beach towels we’ve ever had!). |The staff has always been extremely helpful and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Bali Hai and we will be returning!

This hotel was the perfect getaway! The beachfront location made it so easy to enjoy the ocean, and the pool was a great spot to relax and unwind. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with comfortable rooms and thoughtful touches throughout.
The staff were warm and accommodating, making the stay even more enjoyable.
There is a small cafe but if you are looking for a nice meal you will need to order a taxi or walk 20 min. The best restaurant nearby is the porch.
As of now, there is one building that is renovated and the other one with the sea view is a not.
The only thing that can be improved is the bedding and pillows.
Overall a great choice for a peaceful and relaxing vacation!

My experience here was mixed. Great location. Rooms are good. A bit expensive but it's the busy season February and it's on the beach. So here is my review.
Rooms were nice, clean and maintained. Well. The only issue we had was our air conditioner was not working. 88 deg in our room, the first night i did complain and they told me there would be somebody out to fix it that day.And this did not happen. 88 second night also before they finally decided to move us. No apology, no discount nothing. I asked for the manager to call me to discuss the matter which they did not follow through. The other major issue is the ceiling fan in the bedrooms. They are controlled via a remote bluetooth control. And with the builder installed them, they did not program them on separate frequencies. So, being that our room was extremely hot, we tried to turn the fan on, only to find that it would turn right back off. It took me a while to figure out what the problem was and after some investigation and reading some manuals on the unit, I discovered the issue of the units being on the same frequency throughout the hotel. So basically, you are fighting with the room above you or next to you on the control of your ceiling fan. If you don't know what's going on, it's quite crazy to see your fan turn on and off by itself. The staff in the front office really didn't seem to care, nor do I think that they referred the information to the managers. It's too bad because this is a nice location in up to date rooms.

A gal I know had her destination wedding here. They were happy to support this resort after the hurricane, and had been here before. ||They were all shocked to find that while they were celebrating the marriage, their rooms were gone thru and many things were missing, including $1500 cash from Wedding envelopes & cards. Inside job. The hotel offered nothing for compensation.||||The Bride & Groom were happy with their ceremony & reception, but the lack of protection & security from the management.

The beach is amazing. White sand, smooth water. But that’s where it ends. Our room was overlooking the ocean … so great views. But the first room we were taken to was 78 degrees. Not exactly inviting. We were able to move to a cooler room with a working A/C but the interior was very old and worn. The floors and bathroom were dirty. The light coming in the window above the bed made it impossible to sleep past 6:30 am. The staff was nice enough but we would NEVER recommend this “resort”. Don’t fall for the pretty pictures online like we did!

Great stay at the Bali Hai! Had a beachfront king luxury suite overlooking a beautiful stretch of sand. Room was nicely appointed, property was nice and quiet. And special shout out to Alyssa at the front desk who went above and beyond to make my stay a great one! Highly recommended property!

We stayed in room 18 at Bali Hai. It was not one of the remodeled rooms, but I picked it because it was right on the beach and our balcony had a beautiful view! This resort had a spa; we didn't use it, but it also had bikes and we rode them down to Bean Point and spent some time on that beach. Mason at the front desk was super helpful and gave up lots of fun ideas. We had 2 free drinks, courtesy of Mason, to use at the lounge.

We were here shortly after hurricanes Milton and Helene had hit Anna Marie island and people said the beach water quality wasn't so great. We did walk along the beach a lot and kind of waded in, but we didn't swim. We did visit the hotel pool, though, and it was great water -- so clean and warm. The courtyard of this hotel with the pool and games was really nice!
